“Mad Hatter: “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?”
“Have you guessed the riddle yet?” the Hatter said, turning to Alice again.
“No, I give it up,” Alice replied: “What’s the answer?”
“I haven’t the slightest idea,” said the Hatter”

I have tried many ideas for storing my stamps and I have found 2 things to be true about me.

1. If I cant find what I am looking for quickly, I waste half my night searching.

2. If its not out where I can see it, I forget about it until its to late.

This Stamp storage is AWESOME! See for yourself =)

Organized and categorized on thick clear plastic sheets so that I can easily see each and every stamp I have.

Here is how I made them.

clearance at Michaels $6.00 each pack. I bought 3 packs and each sheet made 4 hangers that fit my plastic drawers.

I made a template of my plastic drawers and then cut my sheets to match.

Each sheet had a section on it with magnets, that was perfect for my die and stamp sets!

All I had to do was stick the rubber stamps right to the hard plastic and place them in the category they matched. For stamps without printed images on the back (I think it should be standard on all rubber stamps) I used plain white copy paper and my tape gun to make a stamp-able surface on the plastic sheet.

Next is working on my clear stamps. They stick to em too! I have so many of them thats going to take me a while to finish but well worth it!

I hope this gives you another idea for your stamp storage. Now go attack the clearance isle at Michaels!

Hello everyone! Today was the first cold day we have had here in southern CA for a very long time and I am SO ready for it. Its just doesn't feel right to be thinking Halloween when its 90 degrees outside.

I have been working on several magazine submissions and I asked my friend if I could submit the

layout I did of her baby Logan. She was very happy about it so....keep you fingers crossed that our little angel makes it to print =)

I wish my photography skills were better because this in person is so bright and beautiful...here it looks a little dark I hope they have editors to fix it if they pick him.

I used the new Graphic 45 Mother Goose collection and the saying is one of my favorites from Winnie the Poo.

1: A book in which the transactions of each day are recorded as they occur.2: A diary or journal.

Now with computers and mobil everything most people don't write these things down in books anymore so the day book needed a new purpose. Some people make them for creative journaling, inspiration books, pretty note books even smash books can be called a day book but for me it is a mini travel/memory book to go. I make mine with photo mats, journaling spots and pockets (cant have enough pockets) in a size that fits in your weekend bag. As you go away for a weekend trip to say....wine tasting in Sonoma, you can bring your day book and keep all the special keepsakes for the weekend in the pockets, write your favorite weekend memories down then, when you get home and print your pictures you just place them on the photo mats in your book. Now you have a beautiful keepsake full of memories to show your friends and family and you did it on the go.

these two photos are a very simple example of one of my day books

(I have a hard time keeping it simple)

You can also give a day book as a gift. I made one for a friend when she retired for her last week at work. She had her co-workers write in her book and took pictures of her office and with her friends.

I liked the book so much I made another one.

Just a couple of the pages here but if you would like to see the rest here is the link to the gallery

I believe in fairy tales and happily ever afters, magic, miracles, middle earth and hobbits. If I could choose one place to live forever it would be Hogwarts. I am perfectly imperfect, get lost in my studio and design mini albums in my sleep. I love to learn but teaching it to others is what really makes me warm and happy. I married my prince charming 17 years ago and we have 5 kids, 2 dogs and a crazy cat. I love to inspire creativity in others by showing them what is possible with a little bit of paper and some imagination.
